SET - Set Time and Date
Command Input
SET mmddyyhhmm
Description
The SET command starts the RTC and sets the time and date. The
argument, mmddyyhhmm, represents two digits each of month, day,
year, hour, and minutes. Hours should be in Military (24-hour)
form.
mmddyyhhmm is validated to ensure that it corresponds to a legal
date and time, and if valid, the time-of-day clock is updated to
correspond, and a formatted date and time message is displayed as
a check. The SET command may be repeated to correct the date and
time.
The clock must be running in order for the network I/O commands
(i.e., NAB, NBH, NBO, NIOC, NIOP, and NPING) to work
properly. Use TIME ;L to see if the clock is running. Use the SET
command to start and initialize the clock.
Use the TIME command to display the current date and time of day
(refer to TIME - Display Time and Date on page 3-221).
Example
